✓If renewal lapses, 24/7 US-based third-party support
✓Post-migration GKE managed services and SRE
✓Reduce legacy support costs by 40–70%

GPFS shared Storage migration

IBM GPFS configurations are tricky. Our engineers design a replication strategy that syncs data to GKE persistent volumes with zero downtime during cutover.

OpenShift proprietary resources

Deployments, routes, and build configs don't map one-to-one to GKE. We translate and test each workload so nothing breaks.

Spectrum Protect backup dependencies

Your backup tooling needs rethinking. We configure native GKE backup or third-party alternatives, then test recovery before decommissioning legacy backups.

IBM Storage Fusion HCI → Google Kubernetes Engine migration — your questions answered

How do you migrate GPFS shared Storage to GKE?+

We replicate data to Google Cloud Filestore or persistent volumes, test read/write parity, then cut over during a maintenance window — while IBM support still covers the legacy array.

What happens to OpenShift-specific resources?+

We map routes, deploy configs, and build pipelines to native GKE equivalents. Everything runs in containers, tested in a staging environment before production cutover.

What if I miss the IBM support renewal while migrating?+

Vendor support stays active as long as your contract is valid. If it lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues on the legacy stack while you finish the move.

What post-migration support do you offer?+

Full GKE managed services: cost optimization, 24/7 US-based SRE, and workload scaling. You keep migrating while we keep operations running.
